What the hell is the original context of this picture?

John the Baptist baptizing Jesus Christ. It's from a Mormon artist, I'm not sure if the Mormon church commissioned it, but it's been used in a lot of their publications.

Jesus just wanted to smack the shit out of his arm. The mosquito was just an opportunity.
